This fantastic album has K.D. paying homage to fellow Canadian songwriters, such as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Neil Young.

Handpicked Canadian legends abound - songs of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Ron Sexsmith, Leonard Cohen, and Jane Siberry all feature, with K.D. back working with cohort Ben Mink.
